Psalms 14

1 To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

Isithutha sithi enhliziyweni yaso: KakulaNkulunkulu. Bonakele, benza imisebenzi eyenyanyekayo; kakho owenza okuhle.

2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

INkosi yakhangela phansi isemazulwini phezu kwabantwana babantu, ukubona ukuthi ukhona yini oqedisisayo, odinga uNkulunkulu.

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

Baphambukile bonke, bebonke bonakele; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho loyedwa.

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

Kabazi yini bonke abenza okubi, abadla abantu bami njengoba besidla isinkwa? Kabayibizi iNkosi.

5 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

Lapho besaba lokwesaba, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesizukulwaneni solungileyo.

6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

Liliyangisile icebo lomyanga, ngoba iNkosi iyisiphephelo sakhe.

7 'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!

Kungathi usindiso lukaIsrayeli lungavela eZiyoni! Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bayo, uJakobe uzathaba, uIsrayeli athokoze.
